Tree advice needed
I just bought a house and among the great trees there is a large pecan
tree with one large dead branch. I have posted a pictu http://scottmartin.net/temp/2005.07.08-10:52:34.jpg The limb on the left is completely dead. There are no live branches coming from it, and fungus is growing on it. It has to come down, because if it falls, it might take out the fence and my neighbor's storage shed. My question is, is this tree salvagable without that limb? It seems to me that without that branch, most of the weight (two other live branches) will be on the right side of the tree. Will that be a problem? Will the tree immediately fall over in the other direction? If I should cut off the dead branch, where should I cut it? It appears to be dead all the way to the main trunk, but I can't really be sure where the line is. Of course, if its length is just cut in half, the hazard disappears. Thanks in advance to anyone who has any ideas. This is my first house and my first gardening endeavour, so I will probably be in here a lot. |
